I'm not a cat lover, for the reason you quoted, 'look but don't touch' & another we had a stray cat who'd had kittens on our terrace, & I succumbed (as a mother does) to feed them, never again. I went away & actually paid someone to come everyday to feed them, ungrateful little blighters, up & left. No sentiments, not like a dog. Enjoy your weekend.

Wonderful, Carol!!!! Thanks so much for doing this "special edition" for the feline lovers. I very much enjoyed looking at the chat beauties. I'll be content (and quiet) for a year, now, lol. I had my chat fix.

I was a lifelong dog person...who never understood the purpose of a cat. Then I got a cat a year ago, Lily. OMG....it is ridiculous how much I love Lili, how sweet she is, but cats do take more time to warm up and become attached.

It would be a blast to go see the show. Great post Carol! You do have fun!

Wasn't Baltard the guy who designed the late great Les Halles? No wonder that pavillion looks so much like the old vegetable market in Paris, the one landmark that I most regret being born too late to see before it was torn down in 1970. But I love looking at old photos of that place -- now I must put Nogent-sur-Marne on my TO Do list for my next trip to Paree.

yesBaltard build many halles in Franceyou can see La grande halle de la Villette Paris 19 it is a very big space for expo and concert.in my city Besançon, we have a litle pavillon Baltard.when a new halle was build, the Baltard building travel to Japon.

I just looked it up -- that pavillion is an actual remnant of the great old Les Halles!!! So exciting -- I didn't know there was a it of it left! You find the most remarkable things on your Paris journeys -- this is a REAL find (plus cats...Heaven).

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
